Got it. So it's OK to completely ridicule and denigrate the men and women of our military as long as you follow it up with a "j/k"? Sorry. But that's bull shit. The thing about good comedy and humor, is that it's often founded in generalized truths --- or at least the truth as the jokester sees it. And in the case of Mr. Brown, the truth is that he hates the military. He just so happens to find <em>that </em>funny. I think it makes him a piece of shit. ________ And it's not exactly like this is an isolated incident of troop bashing as the DailyKos. It's a daily routine over there. Ah. Got it.

Sorry. But that’s bull shit. The thing about good comedy and humor, is that it’s often founded in generalized truths — or at least the truth as the jokester sees it.

And in the case of Mr. Brown, the truth is that he hates the military. He just so happens to find that funny.

I think it makes him a piece of shit.

Whitney Brown is a professional comedian? Do you really think that he is also upset that he didn't get a "skull or something to use as a paperweight" or that he has "paid hundreds of dollars in taxes over my lifetime, hundreds of dollars!"
